It will cover accepted practices for submission requirements to juried competitions, publications and newspapers (both online and hardcopy). The preparation of images to be used in promotional materials and website use will also be discussed.

Photograph Your Work

Are you an artist that would you like to start taking your own high-quality, professional pictures for documentation purposes and/or for presentation to galleries or online sales sites?

This two-day class will enable you to do exactly that, and more.

The information provided is also applicable to those that would simply like to learn more about photography for their own personal use, such as with the documentation of antique or fine art collections for insurance purposes.

Utilization of “off the shelf,” inexpensive alternatives to pricey photographic equipment will be at the core of this workshop.

This comprehensive course will take place Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 28 and 29, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. both days. Course fee: $195; includes use of studio equipment, computers, CD and miscellaneous consumable materials, as needed.

No previous digital photo experience required.

D. Michael Coffee will present the material through both lecture and demonstrations.

Online registration is also available for all workshops at: www.shyrabbit.com/RegistrationWorkshops.html
